While I was legally born with the last name Bloomberg, I have Eddy blood. Keeping it as Bloomberg might be really confusing to others and it alters the way my account shows. But I've never legally been an Eddy. I'm concerned that if I don't change it, it could be assumed I'm researching the surname Bloomberg... what do I do?

If you were legally born with the surname Bloomberg, then that is your LNAB (Last Name At Birth).  You can put Eddy into the field on the Edit tab for Current Last Name.

I have a similar, confusing situation. I signed up with my legal LNAB, which is the surname that belonged to neither of my biological parents. When asked, I like to joke that the "real" Keys were kind enough to "lend" me the name!
